Balcony on TA FLL to Southampton in April?

[KKB]

We currently have an interior on the Regal Princess booked.

It does not offer Oceanview rooms.

Prices have dropped; we can reprice & save $500 or we could spend $100 more & get an obstructed balcony.

We normally do not mind interiors as we are rarely in our room.

But 7 sea days in a row+4 more between Lisbon & Southampton...imagine we could be in there a bit more (tho we are likely to be out & about the ship).

We didn't book the balcony as we thought the weather might not be worth it...but I guess its warm out of FLL for a few days? And fairly warm in Azores/Lisbon/Balbao?

 

Appreciate anyone's experiences doing a TA w/ an interior...and a balcony when cooler in the middle of the Atlantic for a few days.

Thanks!

Does natural light make a difference to you? You may not sit on the balcony but I know on so many sea days I would thoroughly enjoy taking a nap with sun streaming in.

We've done both interior & balcony for repositioning...
And would happily do either interior or balcony again.
For $100 more - we'd jump at the balcony - unless it messes up your perks/amenities.

We love the sunrises at sea as we are early risers.  So a port side balcony would be just the right thing.

As on any cruise, the use of one's balcony is often weather dependent.  Doing a crossing in late March into April will often find the weather warm enough to use the balcony on some days.  We do a lot of those kind of crossings (will be on an O ship this March) and have often used our balcony for breakfast and relaxing in the late afternoon.  

 

If you get a little lucky, it will be warm for the entire crossing from Florida to Lisbon,  They normally take a pretty direct route (staying south of Bermuda) which varies from warm/balmy to nasty-chilly.   We love those spring crossings (have done it dozens of times) and normally do it (on various ships/lines) every year.

Got moved to starboard obstructed.

Now have opportunity to move to Aft larger room & balcony.

We could also snag a larger unobstructed room starboard side.

 

Wouldn't Starboard be the sunny side when heading east?
